Question

ACR Clout Temperature

In ACR 14.4, there is no degrees Kelvin adjustment in Profiles. Only Adobe profiles (and only in RAW files i.e JPEG images only have colour or monochrome). I miss the options of 'cloudy', 'shade' or simply selecting a colout temp eg. fine tuning daylight from 6500K to 7000K?

Well by and large the numbers are meaningless as one CCT value defines a large range of possible colors, the opposite is taking place (it's a compensation of the value) and all converters report different values from the same raw:

CCT numbers, not useful. Color appearance you see, important.

Thank you. Yes I have noticed the difference in different raw processors. I'll rely on my calibrated monitor more.
